Earth Hour 2009 is tonight at 8:30 (it’s 8:30 regardless of your time zone, so it’s staggered) and I’ve decided to take part in it (at least as much as I can). Despite many positioning global warming as a scam, as well as Earth Hour itself, I think it does wonders for human interaction and [...]

… if you said mine, you’d be right!
The power adapter hole.. plug.. thing is broken and you have to hold it at *very* specific angles to get it to stay in in order for it to get AC power.
I did some research and it turns out that this is a notorious problem with [...]
